The MIPS Chain Gang

The MIPS Chain Gang

As we have said before, chip mask designers often place their initials and/or names on the masks used in chip fabrication. We caught the "Chain Gang" of MIPS chip designers initials in their hideout on the MIPS R4400 pre-shrink die. The only designer who we might know out of this bunch of renegades is Leilani Tamura with the initials LT.
